Quoting: peteNice :)

Do we need to revert the engine tweaks?

I'd advise you should yes.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU BACK OUT ALL INI EDITS WHEN USING THIS UPDATE. We tuned the game engine to give the best performance which means the ini tweaks might now have a negative effect on some setups so I'd test the patch with no tweaks before messing with anything.

Quoting: zeb

Quoting: EikeDoes setting LC_ALL to C solve it as well?

Yes, that works for me. C is a default. It probably fails for any language where the decimal point is a comma (as it is in French, for instance.)
However, it is now recommended to never set LC_ALL, other than for testing purpose (according to the Arch wiki and a Feral developer.)

Yep, we're also looking into checking for this badly set flag as part of the launch checks for the next patch so even if yu have a badly set flag it won't effect the game.

Quoting: NovenTheHeroI sent in a support ticket and nothing back yet. From what I am seeing on the steam forums, mods are not working for Mac or Linux. No real surprise there since the SDK is a Windows exclusive.

Mods are fully supported and should be 100% compatible on all platforms. As mentioned above some users are having issues with certain mods depending on their setup and the method used for installing the mods. We have tracked down this edge case and it will be fixed in the next update.

If you contact support we can keep you updated with when this update is available.

Quoting: NovenTheHeroHonestly I think it has to do with case SenSitivitY since all the files in my install folder are lower cased and all the mods have a case structure like XComGameData.ini.

Quoting: TheBoss

Quoting: NovenTheHeroIt sucks that a lot of mods are not working as advertised.

If this is a problem with the Linux version, report it to Feral Interactive.

It's not case sensitivity, we made sure that was not an issue during development. It's a (relatively) rare issue on some people's specific setups and specific mod design decisions, however it's fixed on Linux (and Mac) in the next patch.

You can contact support and we'll update you once the patch is released and confirm if the issue you're seeing is the one we have fixed. Please note we're suffering from a little more traffic to our support system compared to normal so we have a little bit of a backlog on tickets but we're working through them and we'll reply to all of you as soon as we can.
